Snow race: Syracuse back on top of Baltimore

Syracuse, NY -- In case you were losing sleep over this, Syracuse climbed back past Baltimore in the race for snowiest big city in the U.S. this winter.

According to the National Weather Service, the Salt City had accumulated 81.6 inches of snow as of 12:30 a.m. today.

So we've edged past Baltimore, which apparently is taking a break from its record snowfall season. Baltimore's seasonal total was put at an even 80 inches as of 12:30 a.m. today.

Meanwhile, the nation's capital has slipped back, no matter which airport you measure snow at. Dulles had accumulated 73.2 inches just after midnight Tuesday, and National, considered by most to be the city's official measuring site, had only 56 inches.

The question now is, can either of those mid-Atlantic cities keep pace the rest of the way?
